Early Life
Fisher was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. His acting career began at the age of fourteen in the television movie The Sheldon Kennedy Story.[2] During his time as a young actor in Vancouver, he was encouraged "to take many different classes" and "fell in love" with piano, which he studied for eight years. [3]
Career
Fisher has received many accolades for playing an openly gay character on Shameless. Even though the actor is straight his sexuality is often questioned in interviews. Fisher has responded to the controversy as such, "I don't look at Mickey as a gay character. I look at him as a person, who happens to be gay. I think it's weird how we, as a society, try to put the LGBTQ community in a box, when in fact, they are just people. They have the same complexities as you and me. That's how I look at Mickey, as a complex person."[4]
